NEW! 2 Week Intensive Course - March 12th
One of the results of our staff meeting
today is a new 2 week Spanish course, more intensive than a normal 2 week course. One
of the benefits of this design is more practicum and more hours in learning situations with less housing costs
and less time "away from home" for busy individuals.
Basically this is the design:
a. Monday has a specific theme. Tuesday another, and so on through
Friday. Themes would be conversational, anatomical parts, infectious
diseases, conversing with the Spanish speaking patient, giving
instructions, etc.
b. The proposed daily schedule would be 9am to 12 noon
theory with a
15 to 20 minute break.
This theory session would be in the classroom.
The afternoon session would be from 4pm to 7pm. This practicum
would be outside the classroom, taking place in various clinic
or
hospital settings.
c. Instead of 4 hours a day instruction, there would be 6 hours, or 30
hours a week as opposed to 20 hours. The student will be free from
12
noon until 4pm.
d.
Sundays would be completely free. On Saturdays, a local activity
would be available for those students interested in participating..
f. The cost of this course would be the same as the 3
week Spanish
course
(60 hrs), but the 60 hours will be completed in an intensive 2
weeks.
g. The same daily schedule can be done for
longer periods of time such as 3 or 4 weeks, thus completing
more instruction in less time.
Small Language Groups
20
hours per week (4 hours a day, Mon - Fri)
Levels:
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
Duration:
4 and 6 weeks (Minimum study 1 week)
The first
week will concentrate on listening, speaking, and writing on everyday situations. During the second, third, and fourth
weeks, you will rapidly acquire an ever expanding vocabulary of nursing and healthcare. With a passing grade, you will
receive a Diploma after 4 weeks (80 hrs)and 6 weeks (120 hrs.) of study. Approximately 1 to 2 hours a week will be spent
downtown with your teacher in practical, learning situations. In later studies, you will increase your working vocabulary,
speed, and learn idioms and more grammatical structures. Those in the Nursing and Medical profession may make one trip
a week to a clinic or hospital.
Individual Language Study
20
hours per week (4 hours a day, Mon - Fri)
Levels:
Beginner thru Advanced
Duration:
from 1 week until you have reached your goal
As with the
small groups, you will begin with basic conversational Spanish, advancing at your own pace. You have the option of continuing
with everyday Spanish, or concentrate on a particular field of study such as Nursing, Medical, or Dental. Those in the Medical
(Nursing) profession may make one trip a week to a clinic or hospital.
